NEED A VERSION UDATE MAILLIST, STOP AUTOMATIC UPDATE:
The automatic software update problem just caught my band too. The wireless devices spontaneously malfunction when A&H releases new Qu-You and Qu-Pad versions. This can come at a very bad time, like right before a gig. Everything was working at our practice set-up but a few weeks later my iPhone was on v1.7 and the mixer was on v1.6 — “Version Error”.
Apparently, all the band members must turn off automatic update on their phones and iPads. This applies to all apps on the device, not just A&H apps. This is undesirable since you lose automatic update for all the apps on the device. As band members get new phones, OS updates, and such they must remember to keep turning off automatic update.
It would be best if the Qu apps would not update automatically. Then the downloads could be scheduled and tested by the techie band members. I understand I can register my Qu mixer to get email software release notices mixed with unwanted new product notices. That will help a little. Any better ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,

We just got a new QU-16 and the only big issue is lack of Android support for Qu-You. Now the band is divided along iPhone/Android lines. We tried the 3rd party apps and found problems. Only one Android device can connect at a time, whereas we need to connect four, plus a QU-Pad. Also, we could not find an Adroid way to choose a monitor mix bus — only house mix. We haven’t found any solution for actual band-plays-gig use.

We hope A&E will support this soon.
